In 1348, faced with the unrelenting advances of the Bubonic Plague, which was ravaging Europe, Giovanni Boccaccio, a member of the great Italian literary triumvirate which included Dante and Petrarca, devised the ultimate plan for surviving the plague. His entertaining masterpiece detailing the adventures of 10 young Florentines – 7 women and 3 men - seeking safety from the pandemic is framed within a collection of 100 short stories.
